Easy Chocolate Cake Cups

Love cake and frosting? Try it in a new way in these chocolate coated chocolate cake cups!

These are like a mashup of cake pops and peanut butter cups (without the peanut butter), and they are so, so yummy! Chocolate coats a layer of cake and a layer of frosting. Need I say more?

I'm not using exact measurements for this recipe simply because no measurements are really needed. It will all depend on how much cake versus frosting you want inside of the cups.

Easy Chocolate Cake Cups

• 1 to 1 1/2 Cup Chocolate
• Chocolate Cake, crumbled (about one slice, or a cupcake or two will do)
• Frosting, small batch (my fluffy buttercream frosting would be delicious)
• Sprinkles, optional

1. Line a mini muffin tin with 12 paper wrappers.
2. Crumble the cake with your fingers and set aside.
3. In a microwave safe bowl, melt white chocolate.
4. Divide half of the chocolate between all 12 wrappers, spreading it around up the sides of the wrappers. Chill until solid.
5. Take a bit of the cake crumbles and put them inside of each cup, pressing down slightly.
6. Top cake crumbles with a dab of frosting.
7. Top the frosting with more chocolate, spreading it evenly over the tops. Sprinkle, if you desire.
8. Chill until solid and consume. Keep leftover cake cups in the fridge.

Enjoy!

Crunchy M&M Peanut Butter Cups

There is just something about a peanut butter cup... all of the chocolate and the peanut butter together in one little bite size treat... and these are even better than your average peanut butter cups! They are made with M&Ms and crunchy rice cereal, giving them a unique and pleasing texture!

These crunchy M&M peanut butter cups can easily be made peanut free using WOWBUTTER soybutter. That is what I used for them. And they are so delicious, either way!

• 1/4 Cup Peanut Butter or WOWBUTTER
• 1/4 Cup Powdered Sugar
• 1/4 Cup Crisp Rice Cereal
• 2 Tablespoons Mini M&Ms
• 1 Cup Chocolate Chips

1. Melt chocolate in the microwave 20 seconds at a time, stirring, until smooth.
2. Line a mini muffin tin with 12 paper wrappers and spoon a bit of the chocolate into each, reserving half of it for later. Spread the chocolate around each cup (I find that a clean finger is the best tool for the job.) Refrigerate until solid.
3. In a small bowl, combine peanut butter, powdered sugar, cereal, and mini M&Ms. Stir until mixed well.
4. Spoon heaping teaspoonfuls into each of the chocolate cups, pressing down.
5. Use remaining melted chocolate to cover the tops of each. Refrigerate until solid, then remove from wrappers and eat.
